PaddMadd Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) I have experience the pink screen of death for the first time today. My game was running a little laggy, then CTD'd, so I figured that lowering my graphics settings would help, right? WRONG. After turning my Anisotropic filtering down and my HDR off, the game had pink screen of death, then ceashed. I tried reverting the changes, but to no avail. All of my other games work fine, New Vegas is the only one with issues. I did a Google search and found plenty of people with the problem and reporting it fixed(including some on here), but nobody posted how they fixed it.I'm running Windows 7 32-bit, 4GB of RAM, a Zotac GeForce 9600GT 1GB, and an Intel Core2Duo [email protected]. All drivers are up to date. I'd rather not re-install the game as I do have a few(15) mods installed, so if anyone can recommend a fix, please help. EDIT: Problem has been fixed. After a re-install, I still had the error, so as a last-ditch effort I decided to delete all of the text files in the Documents/My Games/FalloutNV folder. I'm not sure which one was buggy, but deleting them all did the trick. Edited March 4, 2012 by PaddMadd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddMadd Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) It's this version:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519U%2BKAfbdL._AA300_.jpg And to prove that I didn't just photoshop a cover, it's currently being sold on both Amazon and eBay.

kevkiev Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Um... the cover reads Games for Windows, not Games for Windows Live. FONV is 100% steam, discs too. Anyways, is this thread of any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddMadd Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 I know what is says, just about every one of my game cases have that on the front of it. It was a common mistake, as some GFW games do use Live, such as FO3 and GTAIV. Anyways, nothing in there seems to be of any help. that thread mentioned a few mods that I don't have, and the error was caused in a completely different way than mine was. The only mod I have that was mentioned in that thread is the Type 3 body replacer, but like I said in the original post, everything worked fine until I used the splash menu to edit my graphics settings. After that, I get hit with this pink screen crap, whether I launch via NVSE or FalloutNVLauncher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddMadd Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 FIXED. Fix posted in first post. @Kevkiev: If it seemed like I was coming off as a dick in my post, I apologize. It was FNV's fault lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkiev Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Not at all. No offense taken, I've been there with aggravating bugs. Glad you got it fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddMadd Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Now that I think about it, there's only three .INIs in the FalloutNV folder, but when I deleted them, there were four. I didn't think to read the titles when I removed them, but it looks like the fourth was the bad apple. Perhaps the reason for PSOD is this fourth .INI file?
